We are hiring a developer to create only the beginning of a Rails application named PhoneFriend. When this first milestone is complete, we will plan development of the rest of the application. (Since the full application will be a small prototype application, we intend to complete development of a launchable version by the end of January.)

**Project Description**

PhoneFriend will allow a user to place phone calls using their iPhone via JSON requests to the rails application, which will then use the Plivo.com API to complete the call. (The iOS application is being developed in parallel to the Rails project described here.)

This application should be written using Ruby on Rails (version 3.2). It should be deployed to Heroku for demonstration purposes. Finally, the app's code should be well-covered by automated unit and functional tests -- rSpec and Cucumber, respectively.
